This Week’s Gem…

is not a recommended article but a confession of poor time management and less than adequate discernment. In my pursuit of finding weekly gems, I’ve become careless of how I use God’s gift of time and discernment. There are edifying and Christ-glorifying gems to be found, but I will share them more carefully and more prayerfully rather than weekly.

Thank you for your time and willingness to leave encouraging and meaningful feedback. It means much! May our good Lord meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
